I'd rather have famonia than claps lung

This one was reported on a fractured usage thread (first hit). I’m slowly working my way through these; there are some interesting ones. Claps or clapped lung must be the dreadful sound the two sides of your lung make coming together. Or maybe those organs are clapped out. But note that nobody’s winning spelling bees here.

A guy I used to work with told me that he almost died from claps lung when he was in high school.Health board

I almost died from pnomonia. Durthing that time I had a partly claps left lung. [...] So I have they call it something besides claps lung and I don’t remember what it is call off hand. Lung forum

OP: I’d rather have famonia than claps lung.
R: Do you get that from oral sex? forum

they stopped the internal bleeding but that she has serve injuries including broken rids, a clapped lung, and that she is in a coma do to a major head injury.fanfic
